He...was a friend in the breach, that's all. And he's tolerable.

Are you already bored without an assignment?

[love_and_peace]

[ He's going to entirely ignore that comment, thanks! ]

Tolerable? That's high praise, coming from you! He must really be something special!

[droppedstitch]

He's not.

And I will take your non answer as a yes.

[love_and_peace]

Take it however you like! You will anyway, no matter what I say.

[droppedstitch]

I really do have the best conversations that way!

[And there's actually humor in those words. Humor that isn't entirely at Vash's expense.]

[love_and_peace]

If you want to talk to somebody intelligent, talk to yourself! It's a little lonely, but you'll be sure to win every argument!

[droppedstitch]

Is that how you're spending your days?

[love_and_peace]

Not anymore! Now I'm here on this ship, and there's no shortage of people to talk to!

[droppedstitch]

Willing participants?

[love_and_peace]

Consent is essential for a healthy relationship, in all things!

[droppedstitch]

Nothing about this Barge is consensual.

[love_and_peace]

Negative thinking benefits nobody. Not everything here is the way you want it to be, certainly, but you still have plenty of rights!

[droppedstitch]

Ah yes, they're written out so nicely in that bill of rights that was given.

Vash.

This is a prison.

[love_and_peace]

[ A little more gently than before: ]

It is. But you have rights even in prison! Don't be so quick to throw away what little you have, okay?

[droppedstitch]

You cannot throw away something that doesn't exist.

[love_and_peace]

Mmm.

[ So negative! ]

What did you have for dinner last night?

[droppedstitch]

Spicy noodles, actually.

It did not turn out perfect, but that's the lovely thing about practice.

[love_and_peace]

That sounds so good! What goes into that?

[droppedstitch]

Spices and noodles. And a drop of love, or so I'm told.

[love_and_peace]

No meat?

[droppedstitch]

I don't like it much, but I suppose you could add it.

[love_and_peace]

Mm, fair enough! Not everybody does! I feel bad about it sometimes, which is probably a sign that I should stop eating it, don't you think?

Vegetables, though! Spicy noodles would be great with onion... or eggplant! Have you tried eggplant?

[droppedstitch]

Why do you feel bad?

[love_and_peace]

About eating meat? ...Well, because an animal has to die to make it. At least I think that's where it comes from here. I don't really know! Maybe it's all plant-made, manufactured from raw materials, no animals required! I should probably look into that, shouldn't I!

[droppedstitch]

Animals die all the time.

I don't understand?
